heart Passage
Join the inaugural cohort of brave dreamers in Spring 2027 to embark on an 8 week rite of passage through the realms of the heart and into the heart of the earth.
This program is the preparation protocol for the Terras Gamos ceremony.
We will navigate the wilds of the changing earth with our hearts as our compass.
We will dream in the evolved world our hearts already remember, reckon with our wounds of separation, step into sovereign choice, open our eyes and hearts to the voice of the Earth, rediscover the original love story of humans and the land, and restore the force of life flowing through us all.
Heart Passage is a devotional quest. We will formalize the journey in a ceremonial Earth Marriage immersion in-person in Black Mountain, North Carolina (Spring 2027)

Those who see life as muse
Humans walking the heart path, in devotion to life itself, carrying heartbreak and ready for integrated healing.
Humans experienced in multiple spiritual modalities who are missing the deeper layer of grounded psychospiritual guidance.
Humans with deep, relational connection to Earth and the human family, but not through a purely activist or ideological lens.
Humans who have been working on multi-level healing (ancestral, transgenerational, collective) and are ready to anchor and embody the calm in the storm.
Humans connected to the Earth’s dream of harmonious and thriving conditions for life, who see and believe in the (extra) ordinary magic of being alive.
Humans seeking belonging, community, and a resonant space to ask and explore bigger questions.
Humans wanting tangible progress toward embodiment, service, participation, and leadership.
Humans ready to take compassionate responsibility for their lives in order to move forward.
Humans in need of a map, a compass, and a guide for these uncharted waters of Earth changes and collective thresholds.
Humans engaged in bridgework across different worlds who want support in their mission from an ethically grounded, emotionally mature, and earth-responsive lens.

Terras Gamos | Earth Marriage
Tying the Wild Knot: an Alchemical Union with the Land
to restore Right Relationship with Life
The first of its kind, a marriage of psychology and ceremony in a three-day immersion to complete the Heart Passage
The Terras Gamos ceremony is at the heart of Ariana’s work and originates from her work as a climate psychologist studying the ways life on earth is under threat. This ceremony is designed as a direct response intended to recreate the conditions for life on earth to thrive.
For all who want to step out of the shadows and claim the light, planetary healing depends on the restoration of the ancient alliance between humans and earth.
This ceremonial immersion journeys through one complete life cycle and into a state of inner union which unfolds into union with earth, renormalizing the bond that was never broken.
This ceremony is completed through a commitment to life in a formal oathing ceremony.
Depth psychology creates the container of preparation and landing before the deep activation of ceremony.
The weekend is formatted for two days of preparation and one day of ceremony, bookended by an opening and closing/integration circle.

an alchemical marriage to the land
Dreaming with Earth: Earth-based dreamwork theory and technique rooted in indigenous dreaming, Jungian theory, Robert Moss’ distillation, druidic dreaming, informed by the work of Bill Plotkin, and influenced by the Embodied Imagination method. We will learn how to incubate a dream question, connect with a specific earth ally, and recognize the ways your own aliveness mirrors the earth’s dream.
Mourning Lives Lost: Grief ritual to acknowledge the ways life on earth has been lost and taken. From the ashes we are given nutrients for our own lives to continue and thrive. To create a conscious relationship with life itself, we will acknowledge and honor the ways we have been impacted by the loss of life and be guided through to the application of unconditional love and gratitude for those lives and the renewed sense of connection to our own lives.
Renewed Life through Union: Mythosomatic ritual enactment of two archetypes forgotten by humanity, holding the keys to our true inheritance: the High King (“one who is noble”) who teaches honorable responsibility, commitment, and integrity, and the Sovereign Goddess (“of the earth”) who teaches earth-based innate wisdom, creativity, and rewilding. We will learn about these archetypes as guardians of human consciousness who can be embodied and related to as the modern humans we are today. In reunifying them, we restore the union between humans and earth as well as the inner union within the human psyche to recover wholeness, creating the conditions for new life to be born.
Commitment to Life Today: We are witnessed as we take an oath of conscious commitment to life on earth today. In ceremonial space, a personalized vow emerges to restore right relationship with life, a vow that will guide us forward with renewed purpose, meaning, inspiration, responsibility, and devotion. This is where we are accountable to both our collective forgetting of the sacredness of life, and our ability to consciously choose life again today.
